Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Dear Gents,

Thanks for the invitation but I am and have not the one posting my shots at this forum. But who knows, it is temping. When you have seen all large publications on Latin American Air Forces in Combat Aircraft the past years you will have seen some of my shots. Some others, but not all at all, can be found at www.alfakilo.nl. As can be seen from Marcel's picture, a not posted feature.

Much time is spent here debating all kind of personal preferences.. I think most people here on the forums would do really strange things to get the chance to make A-A shots, being head-on or from the side...
For me, I don't care, I think almost all A-A positions (like ground/landing shots) shown here have their own kind of charm. Last thing people should do is try to convert their own preferences in a ranking..
Its not only about personal preferences. It depends also on the purpose of the pictures. If its for personal pleasure or posting on a forum, the head on pics are o.k. but if its for articles (especially feature ones) you need much more diversity and only headons will not do ...

nor will only side-shots in lever flight... as you said, diversity rules, but if a photographer isn't willing or able to go "the full monty", that doesn't meen that the head on shots aren't cool!

Thats why formations of multiple aircraft make a boring headon divers ; like during Erics Air to Air Academy.
